hi ho, hi ho, it's off to the dentist we go...

Parker had his first dentist appt. today.  And by God's grace he didn't have any cavities!  Hooray!  He did so great...no fear at all.  It turns out that the dentist I took him to is in the exact same location as the pediatric dentist that I went to...


(I HATED to go to the dentist.  I remember biting a hygienist once and not letting go.  I bet they HATED to see me come to the dentist!  I remember waking my sweet mama up EVERY morning by prying her eyes open to ask if I had to go to the Dr or dentist that day... MY WORD!  I would lock my door or do some threatening if one of the boys did that to me every day!  She earned so so so many jewels in her crown putting up with me!)


Parker has lost 2 teeth so far.  Both in the middle on the bottom.  The first one he swallowed...he was eating an apple trying to get it to fall out.  He made me leave him alone in the kitchen because he didn't want me to bother him.  When he ran in to tell me it came out, he looked so bewildered when I asked him where it was!

Dear Tooth Fairy,
I swallowed my tooth.  Take my note and leave me money please.
Love, Parker

The second tooth came out in December.  He and Grey were in the bath tub.  Grey was washing Parker's face with a washrag and pulled it out.  We found it this time! ☺

The tooth fairy is a cheap-o around this house...she leave a gold dollar.  We tell him that it's for good luck.

When the hygienist called me back to tell me about his appt., she commented on what a nice boy he is.  When I took Parker to school after the dentist, the nurse gave him a huge high five and commented on how sweet he always is and how he always says hi to her.  We are lucky beyond words to have a boy with such a kind, sensitive heart.  God has blessed us immeasurably!
